U.S. Consumer Price Index Rises 0.4% in September

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today that the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased by 0.4% in September, after a rise of 0.6% in August. Over the last 12 months, the all items index has seen an uptick of 3.7% before seasonal adjustments.

Major contributors to the monthly increase include the shelter index, which accounted for over half of the surge, and a rise in the gasoline index. The index for used cars and trucks experienced a dip of 2.5% this month, following a 1.2% decrease in August. The food index continued its upward trend, marking a 0.2% increase, mirroring its growth in the previous two months.

Breaking down the food sector, the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs observed a 0.5% increase this month, with pork seeing a notable rise of 1.6%. On the flip side, cereals and bakery products experienced a decrease of 0.4%, its first decline since June 2021, while fruits and vegetables were unchanged.

The energy index meanwhile increased 1.5% in September. Despite the gasoline index seeing a boost of 2.1% in September, the broader energy index has fallen 0.5% year-on-year. Interestingly, the natural gas index witnessed a significant decline, dropping by 19.9% over the same period.

The all items less food and energy index remained consistent, registering a 0.3% growth both in September and August. Here, the shelter index is worthy of note, having risen by 7.2% over the last year and contributing significantly to the overall increase in this category.

Lastly, while the CPI-U rose 3.7% over the past year, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) saw a slightly lower year-on-year increase of 3.6%. The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) matched the CPI-U’s 3.7% growth over the last 12 months.
